I love walking through old cemeteries on Halloween. For our first Halloween together Dh and I went walking in one that was just down the road from our house. It was very old and no one had been buried there for a long time. The nearby church mowed it but otherwise didn't really tend the graves. Most spirits just want to be recognized.

I assume this question is more for Christians. But to answer your question as a Pagan, there is no "evil" intent. The scary costumes are suppose to scare away spirits (not necessarily evil) because the veil between the spirit world and this world is thin. DD and I dress up and walk around TOT. That is the extent of the kids fun stuff. Then the festivities begin with Samhain rites. We welcome the changing of the season and the new year. We honor our ancestors that have gone before us. The Goddess rests and the Horned one rules. Note the Horned one is NOT Satan. He's simply a manifestation of the masculine deity. If you as a Christian want your kids to dress up in something a little less scary go for it. Our school system doesn't allow kids to go to school in scary costumes. Mainly because it scares some kids. They have to dress up as doctors, nurses, or something cute. Personally I miss the way TOT use to be. Hardly anyone hands out candy anymore. Its a shame really.

Someone having a MCDonalds frappe for me. I got so addicted to that stuff and now Lance won't even allow me to have one.

Ew I hate pepper. Can't stand the stuff. lol. The circulation is fine. It got too swollen last night and needed some ice. When I got home I sat at my desk instead of moving my laptop to the bed where I can prop my leg up. Big mistake. But for the most part there hasn't been any tingling or numbness since the first couple of days. My foot is a nice shade of bruised yellow. lol. Isnt all that pretty but my Dh doesn't have a food fetish anyway.

Thanks Brother Sky. I'm back to work now but my ankle still swells if I don't have it elevated. I'm walking with a limp but at least I'm on my feet and for the most part the pain isnt too bad. I have another xray in a week to make sure there is no hairline fracture. As I said in the healing thread I've never been trained with reiki. So I do energy work a little bit differently. I find my best energy work is when I am healthy myself. If I'm tired, sick, or just in an off mood I'm not going to do my best.

Not exactly spells. Energy work yes. But it is actually better to have someone else do it on you. Energy work on yourself when your injured or sick normally doesn't come off the way you want. If your unhealthy then your energy is unhealthy and your not likely to be effective.

Back from the doctor. Dr. Lyons says he can't see a fracture but that doesn't mean there isn't. He said its common for this type of injury to not show a fracture at first. When the swelling goes down then it comes up. So in one week I'll go back for a second set of xrays. If that comes off clean then I'm fine. There is a little piece of bone broken off but he thought it might be from an old injury. He took the cast off and gave me a boot to wear. I can take it off at home but when I go out I have to wear it. I'm off work for a week as well and he gave me more pain meds.

lol. If I can find my hubby I'll mention it to him. Right now though Its 6:30 in the morning and I think my Dh has abandoned me. I thought he was staying home with me but maybe he changed his mind.

Hi Rev Al. Yeah I'm not a reiki healer but I do use energy healing. So does Dh though not sure if he's in the right mind frame to do it. He's bipolar so just depends. Though he was right when he first looked at it and said its broke. I figured just a sprain. Anyway, I go see the doc sometime this coming week. I need to make an appointment tomorrow. The ER doc thought maybe there is a hairline fracture. He wasn't sure so I guess he wanted to make sure. No breaking holes unfortunately.

lol. I've posted this statement on a couple of different forums. And each one has given me advice on how to get to the itch. I don't own a hair dryer though. I always let my hair dry naturally. If i use a dryer it always gives me split ends.

I am never shaving my legs again. Yesterday morning I shaved and now I have a cast on my leg and it itches like crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely. I would be very greatful for any healing energy or prayers. THey told me i have to be in this cast for 9 weeks. I haven't a clue how I'm going to get to work. I can barely hop around with the crutches.

Thanks Murph. lol. Yes you made me grin. Thanks hon. Your such a sweety. The drugs don't take all the pain away. Just a happy numb. I just woke up and everything is thumping. I took a pain pill so hopefully in a bit it will chill out. I joined curves to loose the weight plus I've been counting calories. I just started 3 weeks ago so no major progress. But I was doing good with my new routine. I can still limit what I eat but I won't be able to make my 3 curves visits per week. Which just sucks. I'm on crutches and I hate them too! Needless to say I want to have a certain pony for dinner. I hear horse meat is a delicacy!

Well my Saturday started off well enough. Since I was not able to go to curves Monday and Tuesday I had to make up for a day. So I went while Dh was getting groceries for a cookout. After my gym Lance picked me up and we go out to moms house. My mothers friends Margret and Kenny were there with their Granddaughter "pooty". Plus my brother and his two girls. The kids decided they wanted to ride so I got Pony boy out. I tried to lunge him because he hadn't been rode in awhile. Except I couldn't get him to lunge right. We walked him around a bit without anyone on him. Then Pooty wanted to ride so while Margret kept hold of the little girl I led the pony around the yard. He did ok till he decided he wanted the barn then bucked Pooty off. She is ok btw. Margret was able to grab her. Pony then darted off toward the barn. I was knocked to the ground and I twisted my ankle. So off to the ER I go and ended up I've torn a ligament and chipped my ankle again. I did this two yrs ago when I fell off ice. Except this time its in a worse spot so it has to be in a cast and I have to go see an orthopedic doctor. **** horses! grr. Kenny was stupid and tried to ride the pony. He got bucked off twice and I think he's **** lucky to not go to the ER himself. Not sure if he shouldn't have though. He landed on his head. Anyway, no more kids rides with this pony. The kids did get to ride my mothers horse Angel though. She's more laid back and happily rode the girls around the yard. Sierra is staying at her cousins house tonight since we got back so late. It took them 3 hrs to xray and get me into a cast. I'm so tired now. They gave me good drugs though. As soon as I got there they gave me vicotin and gave me Hydrocodone (sp?) for home. I'm not sure how I'm going to work. And obviously its going to set me back with my weight loss goals. Its my right foot so I can't drive. I'm hoping I can have a coworker pick me up. I know there are several that live here in L-burg. Anyway, I've had a sucky day. I hope y'alls was better than mine.
